Abstract
Due to the energy transition, producing companies in Germany are forced to rethink their use of electric energy. Therefore, new approaches for IT systems in production planning and control are needed. This article presents an IT interface between manufacturing execution systems (MES) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) on the basis of OPC UA. This interface offers extensive transparency regarding energy consumption and the ability to actively control consumption in manufacturing.
